All-embracing Providence of God.

1Jehovah God! thy gracious power

On every hand we see;

O may the blessings of each hour

Lead all our thoughts to thee.

2If, on the wings of morn, we speed

To earth's remotest bound,

Thy hand will there our footsteps lead,

Thy love, our path surround.

3Thy power is in the ocean deeps,

And reaches to the skies;

Thine eye of mercy never sleeps,

Thy goodness never dies.

4In all the varying scenes of time,

On thee our hopes depend;

Through every age, in every clime,

Our Father, and our Friend!
